Fundraising Crop!

I have set up a scrapbooking crop at my church to fundraise money for Will! It is going to be on February 27, 2010. I'm trying to get the word out now. What better way to raise money than doing something you love?

I'm also in the process of setting up a rummage sale at the church. Looking for donations of items to sell!!

And a local book store has offered to give Will 20% of sales on one day, we still have to pick. More info to come!

End of December update

Will received a generous gift that will go towards his trip, I plan to deposit that today. He also filled out an application for a scholarship that will hopefully be in the mail tomorrow.
Does anyone know a business that would like to sponsor Will? We plan on putting out lots of sponsor requests at the beginning of the year.
We also plan on having a huge rummage sale, so please keep anything you 'don't want' so that we can sell it in Will's honor!

Update Dec 21, 2009

Will is still selling his origami ornaments! At the YFC last weekend, he auctioned off 3 favorites and also sold some others, and made almost $300! Thank you!
He also got a donation from Kiwanis for $200.
At the beginning of the new year we are going to really get proactive and start contacting businesses for donations/sponsorships.
Will is well on his way now!! He is very excited.

Will's Origami Ornaments

Will is now taking orders for Will's Origami Ornaments. He can make either a bird, a fish, or a chinese star. They are $3 each, and if you want them mailed it will be $1 more. He can make these pretty quickly, and he's really good at it.
Let us know if you would like to purchase any. And please spread the word!

We're almost done with the first fundraiser, so it will be interesting to see how much we've earned!
I am also selling little things here and there to earn money for him. Wish us luck!

Art wanted to add a song to the blog so that is what we are doing now.

November 17, 2009

We are almost done with fundraiser #1, selling our enjoy the city books. We didn't do as well as I thought we would, but that's okay! I haven't totalled it up yet, as my friend Suzanne is still selling them at her work. But I'm pretty sure we raised enough to at least get Will a passport, and possibly his dad as well. That's definitely a help! Thank you to all of you who have ordered one. And if you still want to, just let me know. We'll be selling them until Sunday.

Just got the call...

And Will IS going!!!!!! Wow, I am still in shock a little bit. There is so much to do between now and then. WOW.
Please send Will some congratulations!!
